During the first round of The Great Music Tournament, please vote for up to five tracks you would like to move onto the next round. The top five tracks will be moving on. Keep in mind that the percentage of the vote a given track receives will determine its standing going forward.

IMPORTANT! Please do not simply vote on name recognition (or lack thereof) alone. Please do listen to each nomination and then make your choice. Even if you think you know a track well, it's still worth giving it a listen for a refresher.

The poll will run for seven days. Discussion is greatly encouraged!

The nominees are (please let me know if any video doesn't play for you):

I hope people give Björk's first hit when she was but a wee girl a chance. It's such a good song!

I've gotta be honest- when I saw Bjork in this round, my first thought was "Bjork?! How freaking long has she been around?!" :lol:

I thought she was fairly young when I first heard her music in the 90's.

I had never heard of "Bjork" before the nominations, but I thought that song was cute and perky, so, yeah, I voted for it.

Me too. I never knew she had released music before then.
